Summary:

The 29455 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 high school, serving a high-poverty student population. While the schools show varying levels of academic performance, Angel Oak Elementary stands out as the top performer, ranking in the top 36% of South Carolina elementary schools and boasting the highest test scores and spending per student.

The other schools in the area, including Devon Forest Elementary, Mt. Zion Elementary, and St. Johns High, show a range of academic performance, with Mt.
